About Chitra
Chitra uses a mix of quick, practical tools and deeper reflective work. That can include breathing and grounding techniques to ease intense feelings, alongside conversations that help people understand patterns behind their behaviour. She also helps with eating and body image struggles by focusing on small, achievable changes rather than sweeping rules.
With seven years of experience, Chitra draws on a variety of evidence-based therapeutic techniques to shape sessions around what the client needs most. She tailors each session to the presenting concern, whether that is anxiety, depression, anger, or addiction. Her approach aims to be clear and usable in day-to-day life.
Chitra is an AASW social worker, and she offers sessions in English, Hindi and Nepali. She practises in Australia and can help people working through immigration stress, caregiver strain, chronic illness and relationship difficulties. Chitra listens for practical roadblocks and helps people build small habits that make a real difference.
To begin, people use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability. Chitra is focused on collaboration and on finding realistic steps forward for each person.
Approaches that guide online care
Chitra draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and insight. One approach emphasises emotion regulation and stress management using simple grounding and breathing strategies to lower intense feelings and improve day-to-day functioning. Another approach centres on understanding behaviour patterns and beliefs that keep problems going, helping people make small changes that reduce distress and improve relationships.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Chitra works with each person to identify goals, preferences and what feels doable, then adapts methods to fit those needs. She checks in regularly so the plan stays relevant as progress is made or priorities change.
If you are considering online therapy, please confirm the current session options before booking as formats are not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow follow-up work between meetings. They can also allow shorter check-ins when time is tight or camera-free conversations when that better suits the person. Chitra helps people find practical ways to make therapy work within their day-to-day routines.
